Trump likens Carson's 'pathology' to that of a child molester
http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/12/politics/donald-trump-ben-carson-child-molester/index.html ^

Posted on 11/12/2015 4:37:48 PM PST by springwater13

Donald Trump said Thursday that Ben Carson's self-described "pathological temper" is incurable -- adding that it's like the sickness of a "child molester."

"It's in the book that he's got a pathological temper," Trump told "Erin Burnett OutFront," speaking about Carson's autobiography. "That's a big problem because you don't cure that ... as an example: child molesting. You don't cure these people. You don't cure a child molester. There's no cure for it. Pathological, there's no cure for that."

In his 1990 autobiography, "Gifted Hands," Carson attributes violent behavior in his youth to his "disease," a "pathological temper" that the Republican presidential hopeful said caused him to strike one friend with a rock and attempt to stab another. In subsequent accounts of his violent youth, Carson said he once attempted to attack his mother with a hammer.

"I'm not bringing up anything that's not in his book," Trump told Erin Burnett. "You know, when he says he went after his mother and wanted to hit her in the head with a hammer, that bothers me. I mean, that's pretty bad. When he says he's pathological -- and he says that in the book, I don't say that -- and again, I'm not saying anything, I'm not saying anything other than pathological is a very serious disease. And he said he's pathological, somebody said he has pathological disease."

"CNN and Burnett and the rest of the Media need to ask presidential candidate Carson that question since they 'really' want to know what 'disease' he spoke about."

Oh. Was Carson indulging in new lows in mudslinging, too? What's wrong with political folks now? Have they turned into zombies?

In Poland and Czechoslovakia, many people went "nonpolitical" just before the fall of Soviet communism and were part of a general strike, not that they were able to purchase or produce anyway. Coincidence?

Maybe the answer is to cut many regulations, do-nothing government jobs and offices that work against new production. Cut government spending in half and allow working men to work again on their own private properties. Or we can wait for the remainder of the default process to do that regardless of which candidate (or fascist gang) takes over the executive branch.

I’m sure Trump asked around about pathological conditions.

It would be hard for me to believe that Carson would suffer from things like that, but it is also hard for me to believe he did what he said he did, but I will have to take his word for it.

Why would someone write about himself like that unless prompted by some narcissistic arrogance that would also have himself painted into a picture with a rather overly tanned Jesus.

It is his stance on issues like amnesty, TPP, etc. that troubles me. He is no different from Obama. He uses Christian terminology, but arrives at the same juncture as Obama.

I am not a Cruz fan, but it is okay with me if he takes out the girlish Rubio, another Obama clone. Rubio is starting to broadcast stances of Cruz that I have been slammed for posting on FR. Mark Levin thinks he can wiggle out from under them. Cruz is certainly against deportation.

Ellen G. White, the false prophetess who founded SDA,

How did EGW respond to the questions about her being a prophetess?

EGW: No Claim to the Title “Prophetess.”--During the discourse [at Battle Creek, October 2, 1904], I said that I did not claim to be a prophetess. Some were surprised at this statement, and as much is being said in regard to it, I will make an explanation. Others have called me a prophetess, but I have never assumed that title. I have not felt that it was my duty thus to designate myself. Those who boldly assume that they are prophets in this our day are often a reproach to the cause of Christ. –Letter 55, 1905, Selected Messages, Book 3, page 74.

Carson thinks Joseph built the pyramids of Giza for grain silos. I’m sorry, that’s weird.

I guess we can no longer make logical points, because some people will “transfer.”

These were two things that Trump believes can’t be cured. Two. Not the same thing. Two, with one quality in common. Keep your mind going here.

Equally dangerous to the high office of president? You decide, Just a Cruz Fan.

Regardless, her teachings were claimed to be divinely inspired and were taught as having the authority of scripture.

His story as told by he himself is disturbing. Good for him that he overcame the anger, but not good on resume when you are seeking the Presidency.

They turned the Constitution upside down with fast-track and Corker.

Obama, with all his crazy shenanigans with his pen and his phone, never actually turned the Constitution upside down, unless these bills were his idea, which I doubt.

Former U.S. Comptroller: National Debt is $65 Trillion, Not $18 Trillion
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3358581/posts

Putting the lash to those who are out of factories won’t pay the debt. There aren’t enough factories for them to work in. More services aren’t the answer. Services rely on a large manufacturing base in a legitimate economy. Recirculating debt at a faster rate between government income recipients won’t do it, either.

Taxing the richest folks for dollars that won’t be worth much won’t do it (lack of an adequate manufacturing base on U.S. soil to support an internationally high dollar). The richest folks can’t be forced to start thousands of new factories. Oil will go back up with a vengeance, by the way, for the rest of our natural lives and beyond.

And no candidate allowed to be nominated for presidential office will oppose the rest of the political mob so much as to impose meaningful tariffs against Chinese, Canadian or Indian manufactured imports and cut regulations (planning, building, zoning,...) enough to encourage many new small production shops. Not that a national president could do anything about state and local regulations without cutting federal pork to state and local governments (and only with a Congress of like mind).

The remainder of the default process may well be the remedy. It will get the anti-domestic-competition interests and NIMBY trash out of the way of those who are technically inclined enough to produce on their own (new, owner-built small shops, new, small agriculture, etc.).

Nope, I use my brain, and see reality versus depending on divine intervention. My religion taught me, that God has already given me a good brain and strong body. Now it is up to me to use those divine gifts and better my life. And I sure have, because I am enjoying the great American dream life. Wonderful family (1 kid a lawyer other studying medicine) and I have more money than I could spend in one lifetime. Thank you God, for giving me such wonderful gifts, I promise not to waste them.

Big difference between a jackass and a loser! If you beat me in chess, I am the loser and you are the winner. But it does not make me a jackass.

Besides based on pure achievements, Trump has indeed beat those losers in popularity, money, fame.

Does your religion believe in redemption? Being redeemed by the grace of God?

My religion REQUIRES me to perform noble deeds if I expect to be rewarded with good life. Unfortunately I can wash off my sins simply by saying I am sorry and repent. I must make up for any sins by actually performing many more noble deeds. That sure keeps from doing bad deeds because I sure do not want to be punished in my next life. My religion believes in re-incarnation, and my next life will be based on how good I lived my previous life.

And Trump’s active military service dates are...

Trump is not a Seventh Day Adventist. He's a Presbyterian just like Stonewall Jackson.

Carson is more like John Kerry.

I'd rather have Stonewall than John Kerry ;-)

Him and his Black Jesus

I've seen that picture posted many times, of course, but never paid attention nor cared that Jesus is black in the picture. Is it black? Not sure that's the case.

Guess what? Carson would agree with you 101%.

I thought the Jesus representation was a bit over-the-top European looking, actually.
